Cherry Amber Bakelite? and mystery beads- TIA!

I found this at an antique dealer's yard sale the end of the last day.  I just loved it from the second I saw it, and I want to rebead it, making a necklace and earrings.  I am guessing it is cherry amber bakelite?  would have to test, one big bead is chipped, but what I really like are the beads that go with it.  I researched and didn't see any plastic, bakelite, or celluloid beads that looked like these, but they do look familiar, seem to be giving me an Asian feeling.  Is there a name for the brown carved-like beads?  Thanks for any help you can provide.  🙂

Thank you so much! Galalith never crossed my mind because I NEVER find it or bakelite. 🙂
